Innholdsfortegnelse for 1707 i Woman's Day

I grew up in a suburb in north-west Sydney where about the most newsworthy thing that ever happened was when our letterbox got set alight one night. That was until a young man from our local church called Sef Gonzales murdered his entire family in what became one of Australia’s most grisly crimes. While he’s serving three consecutive life sentences, life has gone on in the sleepy suburb, and the house where the gruesome murders took place has become home sweet home for its new family. They share their story of what it’s like to live in a house of horrors (p38). Meanwhile, across the globe in the glitzy suburb of Atherton, California, our favourite croc-wrestling mum has splurged on a cosy little $11 million home for her loved-up daughter…

Getting fit and losing weight don’t have to mean hours of slogging it out at the gym! Celeb trainer Michelle Bridges reckons just 15 minutes is all you need to bust out a good workout. And she should know! With a jam-packed work schedule and one-year-old son Axel to run around after, Michelle’s a master of multi-tasking. “I’m just like everybody else,” she says. “I don’t always have the luxury of going to the gym whenever I want, so with the little time I do have I want to make it as worthwhile as possible!” Think you don’t have any time? Nice try! That excuse won’t fly with Michelle. “Give me a break!” she laughs. “Barack Obama trained five or six times a week, even when he was travelling. If…

Detox TEAS It seems everywhere you look another celeb is spruiking a new brand of detox tea (hello, Kardashians!). But while some varieties can help with digestion and detoxification, that doesn’t mean they’re a quick-fix weightloss solution. For a gentle cleanse, choose teas that contain natural detoxifiers like milk thistle, lemongrass and ginger, which support healthy liver function. Just steer clear of blends containing senna – it’s a herbal laxative. Try Qi Detox $4.85 Immune-boosting TEAS Next time you’re feeling under the weather, swerve the medicine cabinet and give your immune system some TLC with a pot of tea instead.

Rumour has it she can’t even cook! • There’s more to angry siblings Amy and Tyson than meets the eye, with our on-set source saying they are paid actors! “Amy and Tyson are nice people, not at all like they appear on the show.

Chances are, if you’re a pet owner, you spend plenty of time chatting to your furry friends. And you probably get frustrated, wishing they’d understand human lingo. If you tend to alternate between slowly pronounced commands and high-pitched praise hoping you’ll get through to your pooch, good news: you’re on the right track. A recent study reveals dogs process speech in a similar way to humans. Like us, the left side of their brain processes meaning and the right side deals with emotion. But here’s the kicker: your pooch is only ever truly happy when both sides of their brain agree they are hearing praise. So your best “good boy!” in baby talk does, in fact, go a long way. To guarantee your best mate is always wagging his tail…

Hugh Sheridan had a secret weapon when he was preparing for the role of Nick on the new series of House Husbands – Jessica Marais. “It was really nice having Jess living next door to me while she was shooting The Wrong Girl in Melbourne, and she basically moved in with me. Every night I’d cook her something and we’d run lines together,” says the 31-year-old singer and actor. “I hadn’t seen her for ages, but nothing ever changes. She and I went through NIDA together for three years, which was intense, so we’ve really bonded. We’re super close and I’m godfather to [her four-year-old daughter] Scout.” Three-time Logie winner Hugh says he jumped at the chance to play charming music teacher Nick Gazecki, who falls for Rachel Hilton (Jane…

It could have been the start of a beautiful new chapter for this famously divided family, but the call just brought the former model, who used to be known as Kate Fischer, even more heartache. Tziporah reveals her mum Pru Goward, who was last week made the NSW Minister for Family and Community Services, and Social Housing, on top of her role as Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, asked her “not to bring my name into it.” “I respect my mother.

‘Apparently words were said that went straight to Charlene’s heart’ She reportedly tried to flee Monaco just days ahead of her 2011 wedding to the country’s monarch Prince Albert, only to be stopped when police allegedly took her passport. Now the people of Monaco are in shock once more, amid reports Princess Charlene has desperately fled the palace again.

He was fine when she left, but passed suddenly a couple of days later, after a morning play with the other dogs at the kennels where he was staying.
